Comments about Kandy Korn Cute Tween Girl's Costume:
I wore this to school in 7th grade, and got SOOO many compliments! I saw some other girls wearing it too, but it was still really adorable! Definitely better than those pathetic and, um, "overly-revealing" costumes that most girls at school wore. I loved wearing it and taking my brother trick-or-treating in it!

Comments about Kandy Korn Cute Tween Girl's Costume:
I have nothing bad to say about this costume, it's absolutely PERFECT & it's probably the best costume that I've ever bought for halloween. I love the dress, the stockings, the hat, and EVERYTHING about it. I got the MEDIUM/LARGE size, because I'm 5'9 in a half & I'm not the skinnest person in the world. It's a little short on me because of my height, but that's alright. It doesn't come with a petticoat, so I bought the 'Deluxe Black Petticoat' from Spirit Halloween. I would recommend buying a petticoat if you want the fluffiness in the skirt like it shows on the model, because the costume doesn't come with the petticoat & it's a little short. I can't wait to wear this costume on halloween & other places, and I'm SO glad that I bought this costume. :)

Comments about Kandy Korn Cute Tween Girl's Costume:
I wore this costume 2 years ago. I am now looking for a costume for this year 2012. I always pass this costume online and want to be it again all the time. This was a great costume. It was so cute, so comfortable and great price considering it came with all the accessories. I recomend this to girls over 13. Only because it was a little short and sexy. Unless you get a bigger size therefore it wont be so short on the child.

Part of an ongoing series on obesity in America.
As the United States struggles to cope with obesity rates, France is often looked to as a counterexample. Yet obesity is on the rise there as well now, and though French culinary traditions are often credited with keeping people trim, some worry those eating habits are under assault.
Some 400 Colorado health care leaders heard a call Thursday for a tax on sugared drinks as a means of reducing obesity – and raising revenues.
A tax of one cent per ounce would raise the price of a two-liter bottle by 67 cents. That could as much as double the price of a bottle.
The higher price would prompt consumers to reduce their buying by 10 to 23 percent, Yale University food expert Kelly Brownell told the Colorado Health Symposium in Keystone.

In her 37 years, Kara Curtis has seen every dress size from 26 to 6. Looking through old photos, in her slimmer days, you see a young girl standing tall and pretty in her tiara as high school prom queen, and strong and lean in team shots of her track and swim teams.
A new study ranks Colorado as the least obese state in the nation. But the good news is tempered by obesity rates that have been rising nationwide.
Gastric bypass surgery is great for curing type 2 diabetes. It works for up to 80 percent of patients. Now scientists are beginning to figure out why. And weight loss may be the least of it.

Point Spread: +7½/-110 California
FREE PLAY for 3/23/13
Cal +7.5
The Key: Cal is very good defensively, good enough to slow down a Syracuse squad that has been extremely offensively challenged at times. The Golden Bears held UNLV to 61 points on 32.2% shooting in their round of 64 victory. They've held 5 of their last 7 opponents to 34.5% shooting or less. Syracuse shot the ball very well against an overmatched Montana squad in its opening round win. However, it had shot 40.8% or worse in 5 of its previous 7 games. The Orange have shot worse than 40% 7 times in their last 13 games. Syracuse is darn good defensively as well, but Cal has gone 8-1 ATS down the stretch versus good defensive teams that hold their opponents to 64.0 ppg or less. Ball security is a big reason for Cal's success against quality teams. The Golden Bears aren't very generous. They've had 14 turnovers or fewer in each of their last 6 games. This run is telling as Cal is 18-9 ATS under coach Mike Montgomery after 5 straight games of committing 14 or less turnovers. Take the points.

To me, real love is wanting what's best for another, even if it's not what you want for yourself. I think there are two primary examples of good love, which can be defined through two ostensive definitions. (Ostensive definitions define terms through citing examples.
Parental love, often shown through sacrificing for the benefit of a child. Saving for an education for the child. Urging them to take a job across the country because it looks like a good opportunity.
Friendship. At its best, a friend is there for you and wants to see you happy and successful. When you have an opportunity that will take you far away, your friend buries their grief to wish you well and offers to stay in touch.
Contrast those examples with romantic love:
When you're in romantic love, you want the other for yourself. You would happily monopolize their time. You think about them constantly. You check up on them if you think they might be with other people. You analyze what they say for hidden meanings.
Sounds like an ostensive definition of an obsession to me.
Views: 604
Yeah, pretty good for a damm yankee....
Then there's always "Possum Kingdom" and "Hey Joe"
Definition of the word obsession seems too negative for a blanket statement. For some it would make sense, but not for everyone. But it's definitely a neuro-chemical phenomenon, built in for the purpose of procreation. As absolute as that definition might sound, it's also ultimately relative just because of the variety of personalities (and perhaps "orientation") that can exist in humans.
Generalizations can only go so far...
(...ahem, generally speaking. There, see, I'm even contradicting my own conclusions. So much for perfection in language.)
You're right in a sense. Romantic love is linked to the urge to procreate. In that sense, it's not really love, it's an aspect of the sex drive. When someone is romantically infatuated, they are, so to speak, locked on to the target.
Real love is altruistic. A loving parent or a good friend are examples of true love, because a major part of their love is wanting what's best with the other person, even if it's not best from their point of view. A person involved in a romantic fixation on another person can't think that way. They would experience losing the other person to a job far away, for example, as just a loss. Not as a loss ameliorated by the benefit to the other person.
When you say generally speaking generalizations can only go so far you tacitly admit that a generalization can be absolutely true.
When you say generally speaking generalizations can only go so far you tacitly admit that a generalization can be absolutely true.
Agreed. But generalizations are "not always absolutely true", e.g. in the case of a general definition of romantic love. It can sometimes be a positive experience, over and above "just" an obsession. If you're just speaking for yourself, then what you're saying is absolutely plausible.
Well, of course it has its pleasure aspect. I never contradicted that. In fact, it's the pleasure of being with the intended that is addictive and feeds the obsession!
...pleasure aspect...
I think you meant not to respond to me. Try this on someone else.
Any good relationship is based on more than just a selfish desire, however without any selfish desires you are not putting yourself into the relationship, but if you only have selfish desires, you're not interested in the other person besides what they mean to you.
I would be inclined to think that the best relationships are those in which the participants have both selfish and selfless desires about their partner.
I want my girlfriend to be "mine", but I also want her to be happy, I'm not ashamed for having selfish (possessive) desires, because they are (mostly) balanced out by my desire for her to be happy.
I've known people that attempt really freaking hard to proof that their love is only selfless and that they would do anything to make their partner happy, that sounds cute, but those people are only disregarding and denying their own individuality by doing so. And that doesn't seem to be love, that sounds more like obsession.
I want my girlfriend to be "mine", but I also want her to be happy, I'm not ashamed for having selfish (possessive) desires, because they are (mostly) balanced out by my desire for her to be happy.
But would you love your intended so much that you'd introduce her to someone who might make her happier than you can?
The thing about real love is that it is so deep it involves very strong self-sacrifice. Only parents and friends do that, not romantic lovers.
Hey Unseen:
When you're in romantic love, you want the other for yourself. You would happily monopolize their time. You think about them constantly. You check up on them if you think they might be with other people. You analyze what they say for hidden meanings.
I tend to agree with you about a LOT of things, but I don't agree with the above statement. It is not romantic love, it is the very definition of control/obsession/control, which is NOT love at all. Too many people think this is how love should be but it's NOT. It's possible to have romantic love without the above. It must stem from a deep respect that's build over time with no expectations or strings attached. It's rare, IMO, but very possible.
Then it's more like a friendship than a typical romantic love. Successful marriages tend to lose the romance except around special occasions or special moments because otherwise we'd hardly be able to function in terms of our other responsibilities.
What we normally call a romance is a very obsessive self-centered thing. You don't think, "Gee I wish Pat would take that job in India because it'd really be good for her career." No, you hope that doesn't happen. You feel guilty about it, but you know that might be the end of the romance and so you don't want it.
But there's another kind of love that is an unselfish love. A self-sacrificing love. This kind of love is at its core NOT self-seeking. It is pure and just as romantic. Obsessive love is not romantic, it's clingy. Now it's possible to love someone unselfishly and still have a few selfish moments here and there. I think that's human nature though. And no it's not just friendship because there's a sexual nature to it. Friendship love has no sex involved if it's true to the word "friend."
One of the most romantic people I have ever known was my sons Father.
He would bring me breakfast in bed with china tea cups and roses.
He was always presenting me with beautiful little trinkets and shiny objects that he knew I just adored.
He was always tributing songs to me.
I thought he was great until I found out that he was a Narcissist -and all of those things he was doing were for his benefit and not mine.
So now, I tend to go a bit cold with the overly romantic types.

Postal workers in central Virginia not only dropped of letters Saturday but also picked up pounds of food for the annual Stamp Out Hunger Drive.
The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank has partnered with the United Way-Thomas Jefferson Area and the Civil Air Patrol for six years to help run its biggest food drive.
The drive restocks the food bank for the summer.
"Donations really come in at a trickle, and at the same time, school's over and the children's feeding programs stop and the demand for food increases," said Tom Caputi of the food bank. "So this is going to help us a lot."
Last year, more than 50,000 lbs. of food was donated. This year, they're hoping to break 100,000 lbs.

HP EliteBook Revolve 810 G1 Tablet(D3K48UT)
Business is constantly changing. Adjust accordingly. Work doesn't always adapt to your style. So we designed an HP EliteBook that does. By designing an ultra-thin, full-performance Windows 8[1] notebook that transforms into a tablet, you can choose what works best in any situation. The HP EliteBook Revolve. It's a whole new twist on getting more done.
Windows 8 Pro or other operating systems available
No compromise performance.
Ports you'd expect on a high-performance notebook. Connect to displays,[2] projectors,[2] and accessories through USB 3.0 and DisplayPort. Get simple, wireless transactions, data sharing, log in, and more with NFC.[5]
The HP EliteBook Revolve moves the way you do, automatically, adjusting the screen orientation, brightness, and more based on the way you're working.
Windows 7 Professional or Windows 8 Pro provides a familiar PC experience with the intuitive experience of touch. All driven by the latest Intel® processors.
Designed for durability.
With an 11.6-inch diagonal HD[3] display packed into a 3.08 lb (1.4 kg) starting weight and 22.2 mm design[8] at its thinnest point, you enjoy mobile freedom without sacrificing performance.
We chose premium materials like scratch-resistant Corning® Gorilla® Glass 2 and an all-magnesium chassis for a reason. So you can focus on work with a notebook that goes the distance.
The HP Elitebook Revolve meets military standards 810G testing [12] for drop, vibration, functional shock, dust, altitude, and high and low temperature.
Deploy, manage, and secure with ease.
Get a familiar enterprise-class setup experience, plus services and protection that take the headache away from IT. HP Global Services and HP Custom Integration Services make it easy to deploy the HP EliteBook Revolve across a worldwide enterprise.
We've included technologies to help keep your HP EliteBook Revolve protected from the ground up. Protect your PC's foundation from viruses and malware with HP BIOS Protection.
An embedded TPM chip is also included for data encryption. And innovations such as HP Face Recognition[9] protect your identity by making sure you really are you.
|Ideal For

- " We stayed in a private twin room with an ensuite bathroom for 2 weeks while we were on rotation in Kaohsiung Medical University. Cano, the manager of the hostel, made our stay very pleasant. He upgraded us to a larger room when it became available for free. Cano was very friendly and took us out on the town a couple of nights. The room was always clean, and the facility secure. It is located right on a fun, bustling night market a short walk from the most central MRT station. I highly recommend! "

Germs of Endearment: 7 Smart Ways to Prepare Your Family for Flu Season
Last January, I started my 2-year-old and 11-month-old in daycare a couple of days a week. The first thing I learned about cold and flu prevention? Don't start your kids in daycare in the dead of winter, in the height of flu season. We passed illness around the house the entire four months they were in childcare. This year, I vow to follow every recommendation to prevent us from getting sick. Of course, it's no easy task with kids, as they just don't follow protocol for ways to avoid the spread of germs. (Seriously, do they have to put everything in their mouths?) But it doesn't mean I'm not going to try. So even though summer is just wrapping up, I'm already thinking about the cooler months and planning to avoid the illnesses that come along with the season. Read on for 7 ways to steer clear of the colds and flu - and how to be prepared should you or your family get sick. -By Erin Whitehead

Crystalline films grown epitaxially on substrates consisting of a different crystalline material are of considerable interest in optoelectronic devices and the semiconductor industry. The film and substrate have in general different lattice parameters. This lattice mismatch affects the quality of interfaces and can lead to very high densities of misfit dislocations. Here we study the strengthening of a thin film on a substrate. In particular we consider the motion of a dislocations gliding on its slip plane within the film and their interaction with the substrate.

Thanks to its high Special Attack stat, Omastar has always been a decent Rain Dance sweeper; however, it is let down by its poor Speed and many weaknesses courtesy of its secondary Rock typing. For these reasons, Omastar was more often used as a hazard setter; it is one of the few Pokemon with access to all three of Stealth Rock, Spikes, and Toxic Spikes. BW, though, has blessed Omastar with one of the best setup moves in the entire game—Shell Smash. A move that sharply raises Attack, Special Attack, and Speed, Shell Smash was distributed to only a few select users, among whom Omastar is one of the best, because of its excellent Special Attack. Shell Smash also patches up any Speed issues that Omastar previously had, making this shellfish one of the most threatening sweepers around.
With a single turn of setup, Shell Smash Omastar can gain essentially a Nasty Plot and an Agility boost at the same time, and instantly turn into a deadly sweeper. Hydro Pump is the preferred STAB move, as it puts absolutely massive dents in anything that doesn't resist it. Surf is a reliable alternative with less power but perfect accuracy and more PP. Ice Beam is a great coverage move and hits Grass-types hard, especially after a boost. The final move should be Hidden Power Grass, which hits other Water-types such as Suicune and Milotic, as well as Water Absorb Quagsire, who is immune to Water-type attacks.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Omastar has an amazing Defense stat, and despite its several crippling weaknesses, it can check some of the most dangerous threats in the game, such as Victini and Arcanine. In addition, Omastar is the only Pokemon in UU with access to all three entry hazards, though only two are recommended at any given time. Scald is a STAB move with a nice 30% chance to burn, crippling all physical attackers except for those with the Guts ability. Ice Beam is the primary move in the last moveslot to discourage Grass-types from wantonly switching in.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Earth Power is another option for coverage, but is somewhat redundant with Omastar's other moves. AncientPower is Omastar's only viable secondary special STAB, but is weak, has low PP, and also provides redundant coverage. Haze is an option on the support set, but such a move is better left to Pokemon such as Milotic, which has access to instant recovery. Chople Berry prevents TechniTop's Mach Punch from OHKOing Shell Smash Omastar after a Defense drop, but it is usually not worth the drop in power. Knock Off is a great option on the support set to ruin Pokemon highly dependent on their items. Finally, Omastar receives Weak Armor from the Dream World, but it is highly situational, and Shell Armor or Swift Swim is much better in almost every single instance.
Checks and Counters
Due to Omastar's fantastic offensive capabilities, Empoleon is the only opponent that can actually wall it. While even Empoleon must watch out for the rare Hidden Power Electric, specially defensive variants can survive a +2 Hidden Power Electric and KO back with Grass Knot. However, Empoleon cannot directly switch into +2 Hidden Power Electric. Hidden Power Grass Milotic can survive a boosted, super effective Hidden Power and KO back, but it is a risky check at best: as it might be 2HKOed after Stealth Rock, it cannot directly switch into a super effective Hidden Power. Faster Choice Scarf users and priority users, such as Raikou and Hitmontop, can easily take Omastar out, as they either outspeed Omastar even after a boost, or completely bypass its Speed with priority.

Worksite Weight Management
The Rural Worksite Weight Management Program is a research study funded by CDC-NIOSH. It examines the use of an 18-month controlled intervention in rural worksite environments. The program assists employees in achieving and maintaining the modest weight reductions that have been associated with significant health benefits. It focuses on lifestyle changes such as calorie restrictions and increases in physical activity. Outcome measures include measurable weight loss, self-efficacy, and readiness for behavioral change over an initial, 6-month weight loss phase followed by a 6-month maintenance phase and a final, 6-month long-term maintenance phase.
Progress to date
Sixteen rural worksites, some with multiple locations, are involved in this study. The worksites are spread over a seven county region within the Bassett catchment areaChenango, Delaware, Herkimer, Otsego, Madison, Montgomery, and Schoharie. Worksites were randomized to the intervention or control cohorts, with eight in each.

Female hormones are both a blessing and a curse. They make us feminine and fertile, but they upset our diabetes control. With each monthly cycle, insulin needs are influenced heavily by changing hormone levels.
The two primary female hormones are estrogen and progesterone. The levels of these hormones increase within the body during puberty and decrease at menopause. They are produced mainly in the ovaries and are important during the child-bearing years. Estrogen also plays a vital role in calcium metabolism-without estrogen, the bones lose calcium and become brittle. This is why doctors often prescribe estrogen replacement after menopause.
Other female hormones stimulate the maturation of eggs as well as the production of estrogen and progesterone.
During puberty, both boys and girls need more insulin due to their bodies' rapid growth. The rise in hormone levels when a girl begins menstruating causes her to need even more insulin. It's important to remember that, in both males and females, insulin doses should be lowered once growth stops, or weight gain might occur. But until menopause, some women must continue to adjust their doses to accommodate the fluctuations in their cycles.
At the beginning of each new menstrual cycle, hormone levels are low. This also means insulin needs are low. As the cycle progresses, hormone levels may increase as may the need for insulin. If fertilization of the egg does not occur, hormone levels drop. Correspondingly, so may the need for insulin.
Ovulation generally occurs mid-cycle, and some women notice a "sugar spike" in their blood glucose levels that day.
If pregnancy occurs, hormone levels increase and play havoc with diabetes control. This increase is not easily predictable, and a whole host of other chemicals also come into play with pregnancy. (The challenge of diabetes control during pregnancy goes beyond the scope of this article.)
Part of being a woman with diabetes is learning to live with and adjust to the fluctuations in the female cycle while maintaining blood glucose control. Good control can help ease the carbohydrate cravings and emotional swings that many women experience during their cycle. Unfortunately, both problems can complicate diabetes control.
If you monitor your blood sugars you may be aware of these fluctuations. The trick is to learn how to adjust your insulin to match these monthly changes. Depending on your body, you will find that you'll need to turn your insulin doses up during, right before, or right after your period starts.
As much as I think every person with diabetes hates keeping records, doing so helps. What you and your healthcare team need to look at are the general trends-how your glucose levels change. It usually takes several months before you see a distinct pattern and can create a workable insulin adjustment schedule.
While every women is differently affected by menstrual cycles, you may find that without dramatic glucose swings, your menstrual cycle may not be all that bad. I find sugar highs and lows more of a bother than my monthly cycle.
[Editors' note: Our advisory board points out that Fluvoxamine taken at the appropriate time of month relieves carbohydrate craving for many women.]

Grand Forks parents rescue toddler from pondGrand Forks, ND (WDAY TV)-- Some quick thinking, CPR, and a spunky little boy made for a dramatic rescue in the front yard of a Grand Forks home.
By: Kevin Wallevand, WDAY-TV
Grand Forks, ND (WDAY TV)-- Some quick thinking, CPR, and a spunky little boy made for a dramatic rescue in the front yard of a Grand Forks home.
Chell Kindseth is just 17-months old, and he's back to his normal self after falling into a decorative water pond. When his parents found him, Chell was not breathing.
Chell Kindseth is right at home in his perfect world of the family playground today, surrounded by his three adorable sisters. Quite unaware of all the fuss that has surrounded him the last 72 hours.
Lucas Kindseth- Kjell's Dad: "I jumped into the pond and removed him from her and ran down to the edge of the street."
On Saturday, Chell was playing outside with his sisters. Parents Lucas and Gretchen had taken two minutes to move a piece of furniture inside the house when 10 year old daughter Silyah screamed for help. She instantly came to the pond and that is where she found him. Chell had fallen into the pond and was floating.
Gretchen Kindseth- Kjell's Mom: "I could see that he was wet and blue and that he was not moving and limp, so it wasn't a good thing and he was not crying or moving or doing anything so I knew it was bad."
Silyah knew enough to called 911.
Silje Kindseth- Kjell's Sister: "We learned about it in school a lot so I went inside and I called."
Everything after that is a blurr, but Chell's parents.
Dad: "Gretchen was working the top section--his lungs and I was working compressions."
Began doing everything possible to save their son, including CPR.
Mom: "A split second of panic, screaming and crying and whatever but it was brief but he handed Kjell to me and I turned around and put him on the ground."
Dad: "When you see him crying and that first sputter, you are like, oh, a response."
Paramedics rushed Kjell to Altru's ER and three doctors decided to life flight Kjell to Fargo's Sanford Pediatric ICU. The parents knew he was coming around when after landing in Fargo, he looked up and said, all done.
Mom: "I am kind of scenario runner and so I was good in the moment and traumatic part now I think what if this had happened or that had happened. What could have I done differently."
Neighbors went ahead and drained the water feature it will be filled in with dirt.
"It is just not worth the risk to us anymore."
And today, the couple, who moved here recently from Moorhead, is glad that both of them have worked places that required CPR certification.
Mom: "You always wonder if you will know what to do when the time comes, but you do."
Dad: "You always instinctively hope it comes to you when you need it, and it is ingrained deep enough and you can separate your emotional response from what you need to do at that time."
Chell has completely recovered eyes that would not open and limbs that would not move shortly after the trauma, now work fine, and by the looks of playtime with sisters. Chell is back to being a toddler nearly two.
"We are amazingly blessed."
The father, Lucas, says he is just now getting his voice back. He lost it after yelling for help and hollering for neighbors to call 911.

Where: JSU Stadium, Jacksonville.
Radio: 91.9 FM (Jacksonville), 97.9 FM (Oxford)
Four-down territory
1. There's a reason it starts with home: It's homecoming at Jacksonville State. The Gamecocks spoiled Tennessee-Martin's special day last week and are looking to avoid the same fate befalling them this week. The Gamecocks used to own their homecoming, but are only 12-8 since winning the 1992 Division II national championship and 7-3 since joining the OVC in 2003. They've lost in each of the last two odd-numbered years. TSU spoiled their homecoming in 2006. They will be Tennessee Tech's homecoming opponent in two weeks.
2. Poll positioning: The Gamecocks are in both major FCS polls for the first time since Halloween 2011. With TSU also in the coaches poll this week, it marks the first time since Sept. 22, 2012, at Eastern Kentucky the Gamecocks are playing a game in which both teams are ranked. They are 37-26 as a ranked FCS team, but have lost their last four games in which both teams are ranked. They haven't played a ranked opponent at homecoming since 2002 when they beat No. 3 Northwestern State in 2002.
3. Where's the beef?: It's right here. Tennessee State has size on its offensive front most NFL teams would love. All 10 players on the Tigers' tackle-to-tackle two-deep are more than 300 pounds and the listed starters average 6-foot-4, 309 pounds. JSU has four 300-pounders among the nine in its offensive line two-deep. Add in three tight ends who are at least 6-4, 230 and the Tigers are tough to get around. The Tigers are on a five-game winning streak.
4. Two-headed quarterbacks: Both teams have two quarterbacks to direct their offenses. TSU had planned to ease freshman Ronald Butler along, but Butler was thrown into the mix when Michael German missed the first two games to a suspension and has looked good. Meanwhile, in the last three games since his return, German is 28 of 43 for 565 with eight touchdowns and no interceptions. JSU puts its offense in the hands of pocket passer Max Shortell and athletic Eli Jenkins.
Key matchup
JSU offense vs. TSU defense: OK, it's general, but it's really strength against strength. Tennessee State ranks first in the FCS in total defense, second in passing yards allowed and third in scoring defense. The Tigers may be 29th nationally in rushing defense, but they only give up an average of 127 yards a game. Jax State, meanwhile, is 19th in total offense and 14th rushing. The Tigers haven't given up more than 170 yards in a game rushing, and that came last week with the help of a 99-yard run.
This is by far the toughest of the Gamecocks' games to call so far this year. The season averages favor the Tigers. Even if you subtract the blowout of dreadful Division II Central (Ohio) State they still have the edge. If defense is the difference, the nod goes their way. ... Tennessee State 28, Jacksonville State 23.

I have a Grammar Police Latin lesson for you.
Before I get into it, I need to give a shoutout to all the great Latin teachers out there who have managed to not only keep this language alive for their students, but to generate real enthusiasm for it.
My kids were fortunate enough to be students of the late Scott "Mag" Bowers, who spent 30 years at Parkland High School before retiring in 2009. He died of pancreatic cancer a year later.
Mag (pronounced Maj) is short for Magister, the Latin word for master or teacher. His enthusiasm, sense of humor and creativity turned his subject and his Latin Club into something really cool. One of his lessons involved burying Roman coins outside the school, along with shards of broken "Roman pottery," so the student archaeologists could dig them up and reassemble the pottery. One of his two daughters, Kim Ceccatti of Allentown, said he was always on the lookout for Roman style artifacts at flea markets so future generations of archaeologists could dig them up.

His enthusiasm for classical languages extended to the home. Ceccatti told me their bedtime stories weren't from children's books. They were classics from Greek mythology. In fact, her father wanted to name her Clytemnestra, after the wife — and, in some stories, murderess — of the Greek king Agamemnon.
Luckily, Kim's mother, Ellen, overruled him.
I got to tell Mag how much his class meant to my kids a few years ago, when I called him to consult on a Latin question. He was just as I had imagined him.
His Facebook page still is up, and it's a great indication of his relationships with his students, who jumped on there by the dozens to wish him happy birthday, even after his death. His earlier exchanges with them are full of the Latin phrases he used in class — always in capitals — including this general response to one year of birthday greetings:" MULTAS GRATIAS to you all who sent me BON NATALE!"
Here's one of the comments in his online obituary guest book:
"'Mag' as I knew Mr. Bowers was one of the most meaningful teachers I've ever had. I am so grateful to have been a part of his life. I'll never forget the time we took a class trip to Italy together. His passion for his work and exploring this world was undeniable and contagious. He will forever be missed by all the students that knew him. I know it's cliche, but he really was the best. Love and miss you Mag! My condolences go out to his family."
Today's column is a meager tribute to him and all the other great teachers who have made their students enthusiastic about Latin.
Unfortunately, I never had one of those Latin teachers. My only schooling on the language was confined to a class taught by a legendarily strange instructor — we called him "Zippy," but I won't use his real name lest he's still alive and somehow stumbles across this and sues me — who taught by playing reel-to-reel tapes of himself reading phrases in Latin and other languages, since it was kind of a foreign language grab-bag introduction. For some reason, I still remember two of them:
"Sardinia est magna insula."
"Is Latin truly a dead language? No, Latin is not a dead language."
Clearly, this guy was no Mag. The only two things I learned in that class were that Sardinia is a big island and Latin isn't a dead language, and I only remember those because my friends and I spent so many years joking about him and his tapes.
Anyway, on to modern Latin. Grammar Police readers recently sent me an obituary clipping about a woman who was described as a "WAVE alumni" and a page from the latest Ohio State University Havener Eye Institute magazine with the headline: "An Amazing Journey: Grateful Alumni Shares Good Fortune."
To the best of my recollection, Zippy did not discuss the difference between alumnus, alumna, alumnae and alumni. I picked that one up on my own, years later, and I'm appalled that an editor at one of my alma maters, Ohio State, never learned this.
"Alumni" is plural, not singular, so the headline is wrong. A singular man who graduated or otherwise emerged from somewhere is an "alumnus." The female equivalent is an "alumna." A collection of women graduates are "alumnae." If there are graduates of both genders or all males, they're "alumni."
So it should be "grateful alumnus" and "WAVES alumna."
I hear and see these mistakes all the time, including bumper stickers that at least appear to be proclaiming the driver as a "(College Name) Alumni." I guess we could give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that they're expressing their support for all their college's alumni, but if they intend to say one of the drivers went to this school, they're grammatically incorrect.
Either way, there's no mistaking all the other misuses we see of this nondead language. As a trained Latin scholar specializing in Sardinian geography, I feel an obligation to speak up about it. So if all you alumnuses could get this straight, I would be MULTAS GRATIAS.

I love the idea of a unique shape for a business card.
Wow Iove these Court! Thanks for the round up!
For a while there, business cards seemed to be headed toward the same fate as snail mail and phone books. But it looks like they are on the rise again and I couldn't be happier about it. Can't wait to see what you choose!

Love all of these! You've got my mind a-movin' now, too! :-)
This post just made me ridiculously giddy. Nerd alert! I LOVE cute business cards... I'm definitely in need of an upgrade. Great suggestions!

Great designs of plastic business cards. I appreciate all these cards design. Thanks for sharing.
Those are creative and professional looking business cards! I like the bluebird design. The design is simple, but it says a lot about what your business is all about. It's not the typical business card, but it's definitely not too out-of-this world. It'll immediately catch your attention.

The third one looks really nice! I love the overall design. The silhouette of the bird, the nice decoration at the bottom, and the smooth texture it has -- everything!
Lissette Monroe
I love these business card collection! What captivates me most is the "Truly Smitten". I believe that creating a simple but sleek business card is good, but a creative business card is better to showcase your personality and creativity. Still, it depends on what type of work you have.

Credit checks are so important these days. Everything from credit and store
cards, to bank loans and mortgages will be decided on credit checks made against
your name. What many people don't realise is that they can credit check their
own credit report in
order to see what information the credit agencies hold on their credit
history and what lenders see when you apply for credit.
A credit rating is
one of those invisible factors that can actually play a significant role in
your life. Not only can a poor credit rating exclude you from offers, products
and services, it could also affect your ability to open a bank account, get
certain jobs or even get a roof over your head.
Whenever you apply for credit, the credit provider will run a credit check
before deciding whether to let you have their products, services or loans.
If your credit check indicates that you may represent a credit risk for some
reason, two things can happen.
Making a credit check on your own report will allow you to see if you have
credit problems. It will also show if you have been the victim of ID
fraud, or if there are historical mistakes that are compromising your credit

reference agency. Members of our CreditExpert subscription service can get SMS and e-mail alerts when information on their credit report changes.

Before you wonder about my gun-wielding experience, be it known I do not live an alternate life as a law woman. This shootout was part of a Reno Police Department critical incident training workshop that members of the media were invited to. We donned our protective gloves and headgear and armed ourselves with modified Glock .19s with simunition –tiny plastic paint rounds that left a mark but not a wound. What we were armed with was a far cry from the average police officer, and was frankly a little silly, but very fun.
Now, in my line of work, I have found that you catch more flies with honey, so to speak, than with vinegar. I am an information gatherer and my mode of operation is genuine concern and a passion for what I do. I go into each interview and daily interaction with a mindset: be as kind as you can be and as forceful as you need to be. If, at the end of the day, my objective is not accomplished I go home dejected and upset. If, at the end of the day, the local police do not accomplish their objective, they can go home in a coffin.
Putting us through our paces, the Reno police training squad put us in simulated situations, just like the ones that Reno officers are asked to confront first in training and then on a daily basis. In the first simulation, I drove up to a masked man whose car had broken down. "Oh this will be easy," I thought as I approached the man. How many people help others on the side of the road on a daily basis? It was just a broken down car. So, I just put on my kind and forceful persona and asked the man what I could do to help. Then the man got angry. All in a fraction of a second, he pulled his gun, shot me and I was forced to shoot back. Not before I had earned a nice little welt from the simunition. It was at that point that it hit me – no, not the fake round but a thought.
These officers go to work with the mindset that everyone could be a threat. According to my trainer's critique afterward, more often than not an officer's life and the safety of others around him comes down to who shoots their gun first. This was a far cry from my daily mindset. To the police, the people who are sworn to serve and protect, everyone is a potential threat until unilaterally proven otherwise.
I thought about a time when I had been pulled over, admittedly for speeding. The officer was forceful and I remember thinking, "My day has been bad enough. Why can you not be just a little nicer about this." Well, I may have been a little forceful with my speeding self as well if my daily workplace mindset was trained to be one of self and community preservation.
In contrast to the machismo of the police training ground, I saw later that week a different side of the police business. Janine Grund crouched next to a desperate woman in October 2009 as a car teetered on top of her. Kristen Palmer and Trent Wood were rudely awakened when a drunk man drove a small car into their rental house and landed the vehicle on top of the sleeping couple. With scalding car fluids leaking all over her, Grund kept holding Palmer's hand and talked with her about their shared experiences running track in college. What a complex and multi-faceted job police have.
Journalists and police work together when shootings break out, people are robed and victimized and the community's safety is threatened. As I go to work with my mindset, I am thankful that the police go to work with their own mindset. Each way of thinking is a set of survival skills and each contributes something essential to the community.

Grandview Prep center Ismaila Dauda to go to prep school for a yearby Jeff Greer
Because of an issue with his academic credits that he earned before he transferred to Grandview Prep, 6-foot-9 center Ismaila Dauda will have to delay his arrival at Miami for a year.
Upon entering the United States from Nigeria, Dauda enrolled for one school year at Miami-Choice Prep, a small private school that is an independent member of the FHSAA for basketball. According to Grandview Prep coach Joe Dawson, the NCAA doesn't recognize the academic credits Dauda received at Choice Prep, meaning he has exhausted his high school athletics eligibility but does not have the credits to qualify for Miami, where he has committed to play college hoops.
Dauda and Dawson said Thursday after the Class 1A championship game that Dauda would spend the 2011-12 school year at prep school.
"We're working on that," Dawson said. "(Dauda's first year in the U.S.) was kind of a wasted year for him."
Dauda said Miami had no preferences for where he'd prep for next season. He had not spoken much to Miami during the season, which only just ended Thursday. Now that Grandview is finished, the pair will focus on getting Dauda qualified for 2012.
Dauda was fantastic all season for the Pride, and played well at the state championships in Lakeland. He had 19 points, 15 rebounds and six blocks in the semifinals, and 26 points and eight rebounds in the finals. He averaged 20 points and 14.4 rebounds his final season.

Sunday Brings More Victories at SLC Championships
LAKE CHARLES, La. – The Oral Roberts University track and field teams added three more individual championships to the tally on Sunday on the final day of the 2013 Southland Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
Combined with Morrie Turner's long jump victory on Saturday the Golden Eagles crowned four champions in all with a number of all-conference performers along the way. The men's team finished sixth with 64 points, just two points out of fifth, while the women's team finished seventh with 55.5, five points back of sixth. Stephen F. Austin won both the men's and women's team championships with 162 and 171 points, respectively.
It was a one-two sweep in the men's pole vault, with All-American Jack Whitt again awing the crowd with a meet and stadium record vault of 18-2 (5.55m) to win the championship. Teammate Dustin Gehrke finished second with a season-best mark of 17-7 (5.40m). Dillon Lookout also got team points for his sixth place finish with a height of 15-6 (4.75m).
Freshman Madison Reynolds blew away the competition in the 400m dash, running 53.60 to win by just shy of a full second over the second place runner, and at least two seconds over the rest of the field.
Despite being two seconds off his season-best Jeffery Gibson cruised to gold in the 400m hurdles, winning by 1.6 seconds over the rest of the field with a time of 51.07 seconds.
Tamaira Williams ran a season-best 11.79 to finish in a virtual tie with Ashleigh Wells from McNeese State and took fifth in a photo finish. Cornesha Wilkerson finished eighth with a time of 11.97 in the finals. Wilkerson (24.32) and Reynolds (25.30) finished sixth and eighth, respectively, in the 200m dash finals.
The lone representative in the 100m dash, Raphael Chihambakwe ran a personal-best 10.57 to finish in a photo finish, taking seventh overall. It was Chihambakwe's best time of the season by nearly two tenths of a second.
Erin Roberson clocked in at 2:16.30 to finish fifth in the 800m dash, her season best in the event. After finishing second in the 3,000m steeplechase yesterday, Samantha Watson hit the track again and clocked in at 18:22.16 in the 5,000m run.
In the men's 800m run, Tyler Banks finished second (1:54.28), while John Bradford earned a team point for finishing eighth (1:57.27).
ORU had a pair of women's pole vaulters earn team points, including Lauren McFarland, who tied for second at 12-4 (3.78m), and Daniella Szabo, who tied for fifth at 11-9 (3.63m).
In the relay events, the 4x100m relay team of Victoria Reynolds, Madison Reynolds, Williams and Wilkerson combined to run 45.77, claiming second overall, while Olivia Terry, Erin Roberson, Maisha Mitchell and Reynolds combined to run a season-best 3:46.69 in the 4x400m relay for fourth place.
The men's 4x100m relay team of Damian Matthews, Joseph Reis-Herron, Zuva Bvekerwa and Chihambakwe combined to run 41.77, tying for fourth overall. Bradford, Bverkewa, Gibson and Banks ran 3:16.44 to finish fourth in the 4x400m relay.
On his final attempt of the championship, Tim Jones hit a mark of 49-9 (15.21m), shattering his season best by more than two feet. The mark put him in sixth place overall.
The season is not over for a number of Golden Eagles as they await bids into the NCAA Championships. Those bids will be announced later in the week.

If your here, reading this then it's fair to say your a fan of BBC's cult sci-fi comedy. If not you were probably miss led into believing that this is the thread about people of a dimminuitive size painted red (or perhaps red in the face from some sort of physical exertion) either way try the silly thread.
Still here. Good. Let smeg begin.
Thought I'd start this up as thier was a (relatively) popular thread (I do meen relatively) about Red Dwarf. More concerning The filem which as far as I'm aware has since stalled for reasons beyond my comprehension. All I do know is this:
*The film is set POST series 8 and is not a remake of the first series or adaption of the first book.
*All the cast are set to return including Mac McDonald as Captian Hollister.
*The plot follows the Simulant race on the hunt of the Dwarfers as they are the last remaining humans after a Simulant attacks wipes out Earth and the rest of humanity.
*The script was written by Doug Naylor (with help from Ed Bye and Paul "S-club 7/Red Dwarf 8" Alexander)
*The finished film may also feature a scene that was left out from the end of RD8 were the Red Dwarf crashes into the Earth gutting a huge warped smiley face in it's surface and destroying several landmarks (the white house and the Taj Mahal were mentioned). Leaving Rimmer exchanging insurance details several insurance companies.
So Dwarf, Smeg and all. Discuss!
